In the month of January, Hussein, a mid-year transfer, won five
individual events in just two meets. In his first meet
against Howard, the junior picked up wins in the 100 and 200-yard
freestyle events.

The following week he was even more impressive, winning the 100
back, 200 back and 200 IM against local rivals Loyola and
Towson. For his efforts, Hussein was named the America
East Male Swimmer of the Week.

Hussein now prepares with the rest of the swimming and diving
teams for next week's America East Championships in
Boston. The four-day meet begins on Thurs., Feb. 23 and
runs through Sun. Feb. 26 at Boston University.
